In the early '90s, the best writeup I recall of code reviews was in the
1989 edition of Yourdon's "Structured Walkthroughs" book. You can find
used copies cheap on Amazon and "isbn.nu".
(Yourdon was a methodologist known to write many books on topics with
"Structured" prepended to their names, often drawing on other
methodologists. DeMarco is another prolific name to look for. Though
functional decomposition of Structured Analysis is not en vogue, and
Structure Charts are silly today, there is still value to be found in
that era of work. The work by other methodologists of that era on
process of requirements analysis is especially valuable, even if you
think since contemporary ad hoc participatory design works for you. And
papers like on Harel's Statecharts are still worth reading in addition
to whatever UML repackaging they have been given. Don't discount the
wisdom some IBM-era people might have -- they worked through many
problems from first principles and excruciating experience, in an
environment that required more discipline than most of us modern
developers have learned to exercise.)
